    MODX 2.2
    getResources 1.4.2

    I follow the tutorial at « rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources.Building+a+RSS+feed » for creating a RSS feed with getResources.

    When I test my feed it display a web page with the source code of the feed.

    I validated the page with the W3C Feed Validator that sent me the following message, with no surprise :

    « It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.

    <html>
<head>
<title>Sofie - RSS</title>
<base href="http://www.mydomain.ca/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Follow this website with RSS" href="index.php?id=48" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://modx.com/assets/components/discuss/themes/modx/css/index.css" type="text/css" />


    Does anyone has experienced this problem and found a solution?

    Thank very muuch

      The problem is the <html>, <head> and <body> tags in your template.

      You'll need to select a blank template for your RSS resource, which should only contain this:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<rss version="2.0" .....
 
..etc 
 
</rss>
